.....just a side note, the car is free, im not buying anything, im suprised no one asked me about price in any of these 19 post

lol that is awesome
i like the "on board porta potty"

40? i think that is stretching it quite a bit

yeah, when i start work on it im going to take the tank out, empty it and scrub the inside, if it cant scrub it ill just use high pressure water. i have to look and make sure the hoses are clean, but none of them had dry rot. im going to find a place to store it for now, i think im going to pay a fr...

So i went and took a look, some rust patches on the body, but the undercarriage is rust free, engine turns freely and everything was there, no rust on the engine, it has been moved in the 10 years but i dont know the last time it ran. The only major issue is the interior, fabric and leather are in g...

its not a big deal really, ive already looked into it and the only hard to find parts are gaskets and internals, the rest i can get from autozone for cheaper or about equal to parts for my Legacy
i already know were to get a gasket kit as well, even it is cheaper than my Subaru

well, not officially yet, tomorrow im going to take a look at it and make sure its not rusted through, that would be the only thing keeping me away from it he couldnt tell me much about it, he has no clue, but from the little i gathered i believe its a 1984 505 turbo diesel, i suppose ill find out f...

if you drive 1000 miles a month at 28mpg
thats around 35gallons a month which is around $140 a month which is about $1700 a year
the Tesla Roadster cost $109,000 so in order to get your moneys worth you would have to make it last 64 years before you ever saved a penny on fuel

why did theirs not have a trunk light? i have one, i just assumed they all did

does anyone else notice the similarities? the more i look, the less i see, but i still think they have a lot in common. i think it looks like crap either way http://www.edmunds.com//media/roadtests/firstdrive/2008/subaru.exiga.gt/08.subaru.exiga.act.f34.1.500.jpg http://www.edmunds.com/pictures/VEHI...

i got 28mpg on my last fill up at 1/8th tank, which is driving normally, if i had an SS i dont think i would have the amount of will power it takes to keep it under boost

...thats why i want to go diesel

thats is badass! how is the handling, is it very different with everyday driving?

what did you do with the front axles? did you leave the stubs in or what?

how loud is it? i would assume its your lifters, have you checked you oil?

:lol: AH HA!! OH MY ! Im frikkin dying here!! :smt005 :smt043 there is not a smillie to express what i am feeling right now! i didnt think he was going to respond, out of shear embarrassment but keep reading through it wow, lots of replies already, thanks guys Real reason I'm asking because a friend...

that depends on if youve ever ridden bikes before, if you havent then start slow with something like a 250.

starting with a 600 if you have never ridden, will be a very painful experience

lol were you the one who just kept listing things you would do with it?

everytime i go back to it i "thumbs up" all the bad commments and thumb down the ones like "it had an old tranny anyway", but someone seems to be undoing my work

That was fucking horrible! Why the hell would they scrap a car like that? it had a great body on it, the engine even ran after they torched it!


it was HTP, i think they mostly work with BMW and high end stuff

your moms husband? you mean your dad or step-dad?

you must have been riding them pretty hard to have them smoking, the only time ive ever seen it happen is when our 88 Rangers f/l caliper froze on the way home.

...ok, maybe not, but its close enough! time didnt allow me to get any great shots, i had to get my buddy home so he could go to work, but i still got a couple and maybe ill take a better one tomorrow. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa295/HairySheep/subaru080.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albu...

Well next month i move up to Indianapolis, i was just wondering if any of you guys were around that area. I am hoping to find a much larger Subaru community up there than the little bit we have down here.

Ive noticed the vast majority of you all are out west though

it looks very clean, its nice, i like the lights, just ....not sure about the wal-mart hubcaps, but if you say wheels are coming i will ignore it. Probably the cleanest engine bay i have seen in a little while. where did you get the antenna? how much was it? some jerk broke mine off a while back and...

Congratulations! i guess i missed this thread when it was new, but its nice to hear you guys (and gals) are back together. If anything else does happen, just do everything you can to keep it away from the kids. It has a much larger impact than you think, you dont have the right to make them listen t...

can the rear seats work in a sedan?

A/C and struts shouldnt cost That much.
you can get a good as new A/C compressor for under $100 on Ebay. I got both of my Gabriel rear struts off Ebay for $80, but i havent seen them on in a while.

Mod edit: Murphy, please read this post by Dave. Thanks.

you should make it dead quite in your room so you can hear her in her apartment, so when she makes a noise, start banging on the wall with a broom and tell her to keep it down in there i couldnt take that kinda crap from someone all the time, theres no way you can possibly not hear most things throu...
